Ebay Question
I sold an item via ebay yesterday and it was bought with the buy it now option.
Problem is the buyer only registered himself yesterday and has zero feedback,now having one past experience of this before and being then hit for a chargeback through PayPal when the buyer recieved the item and I had proof of delivery with Royal Mail Special Delivery.
Is there anyway I can Cancel this transaction and refund the buyer his money as I dont want to risk going through all the hassle again.
TIA

The guy that bought maybe genuine enough but alarm bells started ringing when he was only registered yesterday on ebay.

What you need to do is send it recorded delivery and then you put the tracking code into paypal as soon as you have sent it and then everyone can follow it and know when it gets delivered.

Send it special delivery or parcelforce not recorded (waste of money!), and as long as its a confirmed and verified address in paypal you should be ok.

Refund him and ask him to transfer the money or send you a postal order or something maybe? Do it where chargebacks are not possible.
Only had one done on me in all these years, and it had NOTHING to do with the buyer, but paranoid, we are gonna hold your money Paypal instead.

I own an ebay shop and have occasionally sold an item out of stock and just say that my dog as he is a doberman puppy came in last night and chewed it to bits lol.
Does depend how big the item is though.

Recorded is not suitable proof to win a Paypal dispute on if you read their fine print. It has to be trackable as well as have a signature available. For which Royal Mail will charge you for too! Even though you have paid for the service already. Mugs!

Recorded (orange sticker) goes in with all regular mail, so when the thieving posties are looking through the bags they can think to themselves
"a bright orange sticker that must mean something valuable inside"
The postie is supposed to get a signature when they deliver it but normally they cant be bothered so when you try to track that item online it will say something like "come back later" and it will never update. The items have no tracking the label only means that they are supposed to get a signature so they always get "lost".

As soon as you add insurance to international signed for you will be talking mega bucks! better to send with a courier DHL/PARCELFORCE etc if its really important, normally cheaper if you use somone like Parcel2go
#22
As long as they are not worth more than about £35, then normal Royal Mail post is the best way with out the signed for option. Luckily we don't have to keep proof of posting for parcels so claiming on Royal Mail insurance for all of the lost parcels is quite easy.

Recorded, just said important and watching. Nothing else.
First worth while level is Special Delivery which is a big jump in cost, but better insured and trackable.
International as said, best option is through one of the bigger carriers, DHL, Fedex, UPS which is properly trackable.

Just withdraw the money to your bank account, paypal can't chargeback money if there is none in your paypal account (as far as i'm aware). If i sell something to someone that has no feedback to them being trustworthy ie new etc i'll tell them i'm not posting until its transferred to my bank due to the amount of fraud thats about. If their trustworthy they'll agree to this if their not happy give them the option of their money back, simple.
Just to add there was a member on here recently who was getting stick for not sending an item that was won due to whatever reason. Now you should have blocked bidders with less than 5 feedback if you didn't want this scenario, the guy thinks he has won something fair and square which he has so i'd say make sure the money is in your account (bank) and then post it to the guy. I understand your worry but you shoud send.

Exactly! Was just about to mention that. paypal cannot take money from your bank account. Come to think about it, I dont think they can take the cash from credit card either. They can only take the cash back if your paypal account is in credit.

Unless they take it from your paypal account which can have a balance of £0.00 which then makes your account say -£51.99 then paypal chase your **** for the cash,which i think is the case now
